Lucy Medford’s 70th Birthday.

I know Lucy Medford through her daughter Kelly Medford. Kelly is an expatriate painter living and painting in Rome. Her Mom lives just north of Orlando. It was a rare frigid night so it was nice to get inside for the warmth. Every Medford in America muss have been at the party. Before the potluck Before the potluck dishes were opened on the dining room table, I settled into the comfy couch and started to sketch.

There was a station set up for goofy photos with feather boas, pink hats, antennas and a frame announcing Lucy’s 70th. Some relatives were adventurous and wore the props throughout the party. I wanted to speak to Kelly about how she markets her Rome Sketch Tours. I want to offer more Orlando workshops and her insights would be invaluable. With every relative in attendance, I only had a few minutes to speak to Kelly. I’m hoping Skype, or just a few e-mails might answer my many questions.
